Lyrics
Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song?
I've heard a rumor from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true
They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed, love
Sordid details following"
The shrieking of nothing is killing, just
Pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol
I never done good things (I never done good things)
I never done bad things (I never done bad things)
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low
My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said, to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
About David Bowie:
David Bowie redefined musical genres and the potential of live performance for generations of music lovers. Creating and discarding a variety of personae and restlessly challenging musical boundaries, Bowie released timeless albums including Space Oddity, Hunky Dory, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…, Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, Station to Station, "Heroes,” Let's Dance, Heathen, The Next Day and many more. Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

“The filming was interrupted at one point by an old man walking his dog, looking for driftwood. Mallet asked him if he wouldn’t mind moving, and pointed out Bowie sitting outside the catering van. ‘Do you know who this is?’ he asked. Sharp as a tack, the old man responded with, ‘Of course I do. It’s some cunt in a clown suit.’ Sometime later, Bowie remembered, ‘That was a huge moment for me. It put me back in my place and made me realise, “Yes, I’m just a cunt in a clown suit.” ― Dylan Jones, David Bowie: A Life

Currently struggling with a cocaine addiction. I know it's weird but it's extremely comforting to listen to his songs about cocaine. I have very little support so Bowie's music helps me get through the struggle Edit: I'm 38 days sober as of 2/8/23 and I'm feeling great Edit 2: thank you all for your support. I'm 50 days sober now as of 2/20/23 and still doing good. I won't lie, I still have cravings, but I know better than to throw away everything that sobreity has given me Edit 3: It's been a while since I updated because I was pretty ashamed that I relapsed. My plug had contacted me from a different number and I relapsed on 3/1/23 on my 2 month mark. It wasn't a big relapse though and as of 3/24/23 I'm 3 weeks sober. I really didn't expect to get so much support over all these months from y'all but it has been very helpful and I'm so thankful of y'all

I'll do you one better: The 10-minute Blackstar video portrayed an occult ritual that was watched millions of times by millions of people around the world in the days leading up to Bowie's death. Through this distributed expenditure of psychic energy and the repetition of the ritual, Bowie's soul made the leap from being human to being a God in a process called "apotheosis." David Bowie is now a celestial demigod who may be worshipped, prayed to, etc. He was an avid occultist in life, and he planned for this.

“My mother said to get things done. You’d better not mess with Major Tom.” God, that line has stuck with me since I first discovered this song. It’s such a haunting chorus perfectly combined with the synths. Moreover, this music video is a work of art. Having the Blitz Kid clowns in this music video really added to the atmosphere: that quintessential Blitz club look with white foundation, eyeshadow and eyeliner, and the colored highlights. What a haunting, ghostly performance. Bowie was brilliant.

writing a song about addiction, producing it as a demented lullaby, and revisiting the beloved character that brought your fame to heaven highs as an allegory to falling low to the trappings of said addiction. this man had such an ability for world building in his music, and making it feel so real, sonically and visually. something he didn't lose up to his death. a true artist.

I love how "Ashes To Ashes" isn't only thematically a send-off to "Space Oddity", it fully commits to that mood musically as well. Whereas Space Oddity sounds grandiose and epic, Ashes To Ashes sounds distorted, low-key and off-kilter. With Bowie's high-pitched wails and the mournful synths, one can downright picture Major Tom crashing down to Earth and hitting the pavement hard. Figuratively speaking, of course. Whatever it was that kept him flying high now out of reach/axed for good - replaced by painkillers and/or the slowly unravelling realization that life "down there" is harsh. His excesses never changed that fact - they only distorted his perception and made him worse for wear. It's a dire song - in the most creative and artistic way. Space Oddity, despite being somewhat of a dirge, has a romantic tinge to it. Ashes To Ashes deconstructed that romanticism, but in the process turned out to be an artistically pleasing successor that resonated with old and new listeners alike. One of the best sequels in popculture history.

This song and it’s eerie, mournful atmosphere, ashes to ashes (religious people say that all the time during funerals and I get strong funeral, death vibes. It was also a children song during Black Plague. So i think the title itself tells you what this song’s gonna be about) is him finally facing his past, his addiction and anxiety over the upcoming decade.

I remember. We were pondering those losses, then Patty Duke on March 29th. _Then_ , similar to Patty Duke's cause of death, my fiancée passed away, suddenly, just six days later. I wanted to rend my garments and harrow my face. I can think back on it now with more composure but it seems like the first four terrible months of 2016 were much more recent.

My mom used to park me in front of the T.V. of mornings while she got ready for work, put on MTV and turn the volume up for the music. I was probably of pre-school age, and this video was on heavy circulation at the time. It used to scare the hell out of me and I'd have nightmares for years. I was most frightened when the new romantics would appear going "IM HAPPY, HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY TOO.". I still remember having bad dreams being connected to all these tubes after having this group of evil scary people led by a french clown capture me. All of that would change years later after finding this L.P. at a garage sale. Thanks for being a part of my past, present, and future, David Bowie. Rest in Space

True of some big names, they were unique (of course some depends on your musical tastes) But Bowie, Lemmy, Mercury, Hendrix, Moon could never be replaced. Lemmy had a unique style of bass playing and Keith Moon behind the drums was a wild thing. There's a German lass who plays drum covers , Sina, who said Moon basically played a series of drum solos to make the drums an integral part of the track as opposed to a time keeper.

Possibly Bowie's greatest song for me. A daring statement, I know, given his amazing library. You probably had to be alive, like I was, when this song was released. It was the perfect transition from 70s rock to 80s new wave. It introduced me to a whole new world of music and a whole new way of thinking. The sound and instrumentation were fascinating, the mumbling monk choir in the background was super cool. The rhythm was different and opened up a world of possibilities. The lyrics were appropriately dark for the times (unemployment, hyper-inflation, likely nuclear war, "No Future"). The song was so "uncommercial" - something some of us really appreciated at the time.

This song is such creative genius on so many levels. Few were able to add amazing funky bass and drum lines to alternative rock like David Bowie. There's a reason why he appeared on Soul Train--only one of two white artists at the time. But the artistry of the video itself was on another level. David was like the Andy Warhol of music in terms of video art direction and musical creativity. Let's not forget the before-its-time gender non-binary theme of David Bowie either. This song came out just before MTV made its debut of "music videos" and this video was a big hit on MTV.

I was 14 when this song came out . . . I was big into MTV. This use to come on late at night. I knew of David Bowie, but I always thought this video was very strange. The song was catchy and felt like a children's show song. Now that I am 54 years old, I realize how great of songwriter David Bowie was. This is just one classic song in his arsenal of genius tunes and lyrics. Amazing what I know now, that I didn't catch 40 years ago.

The bulldozer slowly driving behind them is such an excellent idea, like inevitable, rolling doom. You hardly notice it first, but then it becomes frightening as hell.

in the fight against my chemical dependence and listening to this wonderful music, I identify so much, my god why am I so self-destructive? how to get out of this hole so deep? It's such a sad story and very cliché I know, I'm just another one who faces this demon, and for those who go through the same, strength, don't take my example, I'm already defeated, tired and without strength, but many can do it and you can too ,and remember: Ashes to Ashes, all we are in the end is dust and our clothes will last longer in our coffin than we will, so enjoy the journey and keep swimming
